Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2031731, member: 127"] I have to agree with Tomcat about Paulus regarding basketball. While at CBA he was so dominant because he was such an early bloomer, pretty fully developed athletically by his freshman year in HS, was into working out from a young age, trained hard year round and was older than his peers. His physical dominance waned as he got older, the game speeded up and other kids developed. He was very smart, his savvy and understanding of the game gave him an advantage that helped his decreasing athletic edge. He knew what to do but his lack of speed prevented him from consistently doing what he wanted against peer competition on the court as he aged. He wanted to be a basketball coach forever but athletically he may have been better served playing football than basketball in college. The kid and his family had a plan from a young age and he's doing what he always wanted to do - coach basketball. [/QUOTE]
